Game pageTurbo Overkill
Sliding into the next enemy becomes an attraction in itself. Players relish the chainsaw leg as a way to attack through movement, not just another gun to select.
Alternate firing modes invite experimentation with the arsenal. Reviewers enjoy finding different uses for weapons rather than treating every new gun as a simple replacement.
What makes it fun
Slice and slide to the next target
Slide through an enemy with the chainsaw leg, then carry that momentum toward the next target. Movement itself becomes part of the attack.
Alt fire gives guns another role
Weapon upgrades unlock alt fire. A shotgun can launch grenades, while a minigun can act as a flamethrower, giving familiar guns another way to attack.
